Because Of Your Lies

“Good idea. So your or my home?”

“Uhmm how about yours and next time we’ll go to my house?”

“Sounds like a plan.”

5 minutes later you arrive at your house. You open the door and yell

“Mom!! I’m home!! And I brought a friend!!”

“YOU WHAT?!”

Matt looks at you shocked he probably thinks he’s not welcome here because of your moms reaction. But you grin and take 2 steps away from him. He looks at you oddly until he sees your mom who looks absolutely overjoyed.

“You must be Avril’s friend!! How very nice to meet you! Avril never brings any friends home so you’re the first one I meet!!”

After that she starts hugging Matt like crazy. Matt’s face starts to turn blue..

“Mom! You’re choking him!”

“Oh I’m terribly sorry hun uhm.. what’s your name again?”

“It’s Matt”

Matt says between to gasps of breath. You giggle because you already saw this coming and because of the look on Matt’s face when your mom came charging towards him.

“We’re gonna go upstairs now for an art project ok mom?”

“Fine sweetie don’t do anything naughty upstairs though!”

She says while winking. You know she’s joking but still..

“MOM!”

You say while your head starts to look like a tomatoes. So does Matt’s by the way.

“Joking just joking Avril haha now you kids hurry upstairs and leave the elderly people to rest”

“It’s more the other way around..”

You mumble to Matt who snickers and grins at you.

Once you’re both upstairs you head over to your room and stand in front of the still closed door.

“I must warn you though I never bring anyone home so my room might be kind of shocking.”

“I’m sure I can handle it”

“Okay whatever you say”

You open the door and hear Matt gasping behind you.

“Told you you’d be shocked..”

“Yes.. but not because of the reason you think I am.. Your room it’s.. it’s…”

“Messy, dark, awful, lonely?”

“No.. AWESOME!!!”

This again causes you to jump 5 feet up in the air while Matt is running over to your bed and immediately turns his face towards you to let himself fall backwards on your bed.

“Whow you have the best bed ever!”

“Well my bed is not exactly the reason why we got here remember?”

“It’s not?”

Matt says while pouting. You look at him grossed out.

“Typical teenage boy thoughts..”

Matt starts to open his mouth but

“Don’t!!! I don’t wanna hear it!!!”

“Awwww but you don’t even know what I was going to say!”

“I don’t care it will probably be something perverted!”

“Whow one day only and you already read me like a book.”

“Teenage boys are just sooo predictable.”

Matt coughs at this

“Shall we start drawing then?”

“Yup”

You both sit down on the bed in front of each other and concentrate on your drawings. After an hour Matt stretches and falls down on the bed backwards again.

“Oooh man! For how long have we been sitting here?!”

“An hour I guess”

“WHAT?!”

“Yea you gotta do something to be worthy of my presence”

You stay still drawing but with a grin on your face. Matt looks at you and sadly you don’t notice because you’re so concentrated on your drawing. Suddenly he yells BANZAI!! And jumps on top of you causing you both to fall off the bed and land on the floor. Well. That means you land on the floor. You’re functioning as some sort of cushion for Matt.

“Ugh MATT GET OFF ME!”

“Nah I think I wanna stay like this.”

“And what do you think I want?”

“uhm.. Kiss me?”

He says pretending to look really hopeful.

“Nope. Wrong. THIS!”

You say while making a sudden movement shoving Matt’s legs from under him and quickly roll on top.

“Haha still wanna stay like this?”

“Noohoo get off meee!!”

He whines like a little kid causing you to laugh and stand up.

“Ok I think we’ve worked enough on our drawings for today. Wanna stay for a bit longer or wanna head home?”

“I think I’d rather stay. Your place rocks”

“Mmkay so wanna play guitar hero?!”

“Hells yea! You’re going down missy!”

“Hah when hell freezes over and penguins can fly that is!”

And so you both start your match. Of course you win. I mean who expected else?... you didn’t expect else… did you… -looks at you evilly-

After kickin Matt’s butt at guitar hero more he decides it’s time for him to head home.

“See you at school tomorrow Avril!”

“K bye!!”

you close the door and turn around to find your mom standing in the doorway smiling at you with a smile you know all too well.

“Charming boy isn’t he?”

“Yea I suppose.”

“And he is your friend?”

“I told you so didn’t I?”

“Sure you don’t like him a bit more than as a friend?”

“MOM!”

You say while turning red again. Why oh why does she always have to say things like this! Has she no other joy in her life than to torture you mentally?!

“Well I’m just saying he’s a sweet boy.”

“Well he can be a sweet boy too when we’re still friends.”

“Ok if you say so Avril. You guys would be a cute couple though.”

“… I am not even responding to that one”

You say while walking upstairs. In your room you start to think about Matt and what your mother said. * Do I really like him more than as a friend? No.. I Don’t.. I can’t.. you think*

Suddenly pieces of memories crawl back into your head.

“Do you really think even one boy would show interest in some wh**e like you?!”

“No dad I’m sorry please give me my diary back please daddy!”

“So you can write down your deceiving thoughts again?! I didn’t think so B***h!”

“But daddy I never even spoke to that boy and you’re right no boy would ever show interest in me! Now please give it back!”

“And??”

“Nor will any girl. No one will show interest in me because I’m stupid and dumb.”

“That’s my girl”

He says while patting your head and walking pass you throwing your diary in your face.

You sigh. Weird thing is that every time your dad made you say things like that every time you started believing them more. You really are lame.. stupid and dumb. Why would Matt like me. It’s already a miracle he likes me as a friend..
